Le Sserafim, Illit, Katseye release joint single

Three girl groups under HYBE — Le Sserafim, Illit and KATSEYE — joined forces Friday to release a collaborative single, "ICONIC BY MISTAKE," marking a rare cross-group project within the K-pop powerhouse. The track, an alternative pop song driven by a heavy beat and offbeat sound, features a catchy hook built around the lyric: "Thanks to your hate, I accidentally became iconic." The trio gave the first live performance of the song on Mnet's "M Countdown" music program on Thursday, a day ahead of its official release. "We are truly happy that our long-held wish to stand on stage together has finally come true," Le Sserafim said in a statement, adding that the collaboration was prepared as "a special gift" for fans worldwide

Can musical adaptation of 'Yumi's Cells' bring 'new sense of fantasy' to beloved story?

Can “Yumi’s Cells” translate to the musical stage after its success as a webtoon, drama and animation? The stage adaptation is the latest expansion of the franchise, but its creators say the musical has its own creative justification, built around live performance, songs and choreography — and a new character created for the stage. The production team held a press conference Wednesday at 1975 Theater in Seoul’s Gwangjin District. Tiffany Young, Kim Ye-won, Choi Jae-rim, Jung Taek-woon (also known as Leo, of idol group VIXX), Kim So-hyang and director Yang Jung-woong attended the event. The musical follows Cell 109, an apprentice cell known only by a number, as it grows into Yumi’s true Prime Cell. The production centers a story created for the stage while keeping the original premise of ordinary office worker Yumi’s daily life and romance unfolding through the cells inside her head. Based on Lee Dong-geon’s popular Naver webtoon, which has amassed 3.5 billion views globally, “Yumi’s Cells” has already proven its widespread appeal through drama and animation adaptat

Jay B embraces his R&B roots for introspective third EP 'Tr.ee'

Jay B is continuing to follow the musical path he believes suits him best. The singer's third solo EP "Tr.ee," released Wednesday, is a six-track project that pairs the R&B sound he has long favored with an introspective exploration of growth, relationships and emotional uncertainty. While his boy group GOT7 built its catalog around pop, dance and genre-blending tracks suited to a seven-member group, Jay B said his solo work has given him greater room to explore the sounds that first inspired hi

Busan: More than tour stop for BTS

BUSAN — K-pop sensation BTS is heading back to Busan. Three years and eight months have passed since the group last stood on a stage in Korea's second-largest city, and the place has not been forgotten. On June 5, about a week before the group's concert, the city was already restless with anticipation. The seven-piece K-pop juggernaut — composed of RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook — is set to hold the Busan leg of its ongoing "ARIRANG" world tour at Busan Asiad Main Stadium scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The shows come roughly three months after the group's comeback performance at Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square, held to mark the release of its fifth studio album, and about two months after the tour's opening run in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. Both Busan dates have long since sold out. For BTS and its fans, Busan is not simply a tour stop. Few cities in the world carry the kind of weight for BTS that the port city does, and the group has chosen its concert dates here carefully. The finale of the two-night Busan show will fall on Friday, the exact date BTS debuted in 2013

BTS to launch Busan shows for 'Arirang' world tour

K-pop supergroup BTS will begin the Busan leg of its "Arirang" world tour Friday, returning to the southern Korean port city, alongside its global fan base, known as ARMY. The group will perform at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on Friday and Saturday, with the shows expected to draw a combined audience of around 110,000. Tickets for both shows have sold out. The K-pop septet kicked off the tour in April at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, just northwest of Seoul, where it had three shows before heading overseas. The group has since performed in cities, including Tokyo, Tampa, El Paso, Mexico City, Stanford and Las Vegas, attracting roughly 840,000 fans across 15 shows during the first leg of its North American tour alone. It marks BTS' first performance in Busan in more than three years after staging the "Yet to Come in Busan" concert in October 2022 in support of the city's bid to host the 2030 World Expo. The upcoming shows also carry added significance as the group reunites with fans at the venue where it last performed before entering a hiatus for its members' mandatory military service. Team lea

Wearing a sleeveless blue gown with crossed halter straps, the Korean American singer drew attention from Korean audiences by singing a brief line in Korean: “Although I fall, I stand up again.” FIFA said “DNA” embodies the spirit of solidarity and unity for the historic tournament, which is being co-hosted for the first time by three countries — the United States, Canada and Mexico. The competition will be held across 16 cities and feature 48 teams until July 19
